energy converter
Hi,
I need to make an energy converter for science by tommorow or I fail. (eg: potential energy to kinetic energy, or chemical energy to electric energy etc.) Can someone please help me?
It doesnt have to be a really detailed model or anything. I would prefer it to be just made out of something i have at home.
Thanks.

Try making some sort of car out of cut out cardboard/ card paper/ a tissue paper box. You could either do elastic energy into kinetic energy or potential to kinetic for this one (are you allowed to do one type of kinetic into another?) Search "mousetrap car" or "elastic band car" to get instructions, but it wouldn't be that hard. This would probably earn you a higher mark, since you would be making something.
If you really wanted to take the easy way out (and don't think your teacher would mind) you could always do something like holding a ball up and then dropping it (potential energy to gravitational energy) or do the same by rolling some sort of round object down a slope. You could also crack an orange peel in half near a flame of some sort (a bunsen burner flame? a lit match? A lit lighter?) and watch the flame get huge. Then you can explain that the orange peel contains orange oil which contains d-limonene, a substance which is flammable. Flammable substances contain lots of potential energy, and when they react it is... okay it's been a while, I don't remember. Hey, it's your homework, combustion energy? Anyway. Or you could do something similar just burning about anything. You could explain how a piece of paper has lots of potential energy for combustion. These are just a few ideas, though I suggest you choose something to do right away. Good luck!

bring in food, eat it, then do something funny. chemical into kinetic. its the best you can do on such short notice.
